KULR Technology joins the Space Race
The tech company will be providing technology for the next generation of space missions.

The space race of the 1950s and 1960s was a legendary battle between world powers to secure the first mover advantage at the last frontier. It was a massive capital investment by today's standards, but the ultimate goal was a long way off. It was about discovery. Now, decades later, we have finally reached a stage where commercialization is actively underway and billions - and potentially trillions - are up for grabs. Wall Street has hit this point in full, with new ETFs like the new ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (ARKX) from Cathie Wood and the Moonshot Innovators ETF (MOON) from Direxion. We expect more to follow. Holdings include leading innovators in areas such as laser scanning, 3D imaging, 3D printing, ballistics, aerospace, navigation and energy storage, with companies including Trimble Inc (TRMB), 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE: DDD), Iridium Communications Inc (IRDM) and Microvision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) woven into the mix. But there's one more emerging company that has an interesting history that is moving towards possible inclusion in that story that speculative investors may want to scrutinize: KULR Technology Group Inc. (OTCMKTS: KULR), who, in collaboration with NASA, developed their own solution to a very difficult problem: how to 3D print a battery with passive propagation resistance (PPR) and internal short circuit (ISC) that even works in space. The stock is now in a typically bullish pennant pattern beneath clear target resistance above $ 3.75, which would add 50-60% upside potential before a possible further breakout as the company continues to amass catalysts as an emerging company in the growing space theme. To say that a company has what it takes to become an irreplaceable part of the emerging landscape in the space race on Wall Street in the years to come, there has to be something the company has to offer that is essential to this story and that based on either proprietary intellectual property or market leadership so well established that few would dare to compete on this grade. In this case, KULR Technology Group Inc. (OTCMKTS: KULR) has a proprietary solution for something ubiquitous in space energy storage. It has IP rights to the technology and a credibility leadership that may not be attacked by the competition at this point in time, as this technology was developed in collaboration with NASA and used by them. And there is no brand that can compete with NASA when it comes to the new space race. Energy storage is essential to be able to do anything in space. But you can't just make batteries and then shoot them into space. The idea is to 3D print in space. That's why the top space ETFs are filled with 3d printing companies. It's about getting 3D printing technology and some base materials efficiently into space. And then combine those materials with resources found in space - such as materials that can easily be found on the moon - and then use that base of materials to make everything else you need to do operations in the space.
